So if a situation arises where you need to run a mother *expletive deleted*er over (such as a mostly peaceful but fiery protest) is this system going to prevent that?

Because if so I can see a nice new tactic that will debut in the always delightful and wonderful inner cities where the upstanding members of society sometimes forget they were on the way to church and accidentally hijack and murder drivers. Only accidentally of course.

Folks are already stopping and *expletive deleted*ing with the autonomous cars using a traffic cone.

That's actually an interesting tangent, as we've often talked about your vehicle being your best defense if you accidentally take a wrong turn into an antifa riot.

I despise the AEB system in every car I've driven that's had it.  It triggers at inappropriate times far too often.

How difficult is it to bypass/delete?

Enough that for the short time I drove them it wasn't worth it.
